Description Olivier Diotte 2013-10-27 00:36:26 UTC 
Running this one-liner, as root, fixes it in the meantime:

sed -r -i 's/Exec=okular %U %i -caption %c/Exec=okular %U -icon %i -caption %c/' /usr/share/applications/kde4/okular*.desktop

Also, this bug happened at least on Okular 0.16.5 too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run "xdg-open /path/to/file.pdf" in a terminal
Actual Results:  
-An okular window appears displaying file.pdf
-An empty okular window with title '%c' appears
-A popup window saying "could not open /home/myuser/%i" appears 

Expected Results:  
Only the file.pdf okular window appears

If you read http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html it clearly states that you have to write %i in your Exec line and that it will be replaced by "--icon WHATEVER_IS_IN_YOUR_ICON_KEY"

So that must be a xdg-open bug.

FWIW xdg-open works fine here so you may have an older version of xdg-open?

Seems this is an xdg-open bug:
